Thanksgiving Blessing Mix Treat
Bless the LORD O my soul and forget not all his benefits!
One of the deacons who serves on our church's compassion committee dropped by our home to bring my husband, Bob, a "Thanksgiving Blessing Mix" treat and spend some time with him. (As many of you know, Bob has a traumatic brain injury, and as a result of his decline, he rarely attends church anymore.) This was such a kind gesture so I wanted to share it with you. I thought this would be an easy activity for children in our ministries to make and give to shut-ins in our churches or neighborhoods!
You will need small mason jars, 6" round fall print cloth (they cut the cloth with pinking shears), ribbon, "Bugles" Corn Snack, small pretzels, Small dried fruit such as craisins or raisins, candy corn, M&M's, chocolate candy Kisses, and a small card with the following text printed on it:
Thanksgiving Blessing Mix
We are thankful for:
God's call for us to be one of his. (Bugles)
Arms folded in thanks and praise for our Lord above. (Pretzels)
The fruit of the Spirit living in our hearts. (Fruit)
The sacrifices our forefathers made in order to secure a a blessed future.
(Candy corn)
Memories & Moments we will always cherish. (M&M's)
The love of family and friends. (Kisses)
And we are especially thankful for you!
"I will praise God's name in song and glorify him with Thanksgiving" Psalm 69:30.
Fill the jars with a mix of the ingredients, place the cloth over the flat disk
of the lid, close off with the lid ring, punch a hole in the card and tie off
with the ribbon.
If you make one, send pictures! Blessings to all, and Happy Thanksgiving!

Bethlehem Drive-Through
Community Witness Christmas Drama
Our Bethlehem Drive-Through event is the perfect Christmas drama for your youth ministry! It is a fun and effective way to witness to your community during the Advent season. Stations are set up to tell important parts of the Christmas story as visitors drive through "Bethlehem," passing each station, and then arriving at the manger scene for the final destination.
Once people have driven by the stations, you might invite them to park their cars, and come inside your church to watch the movie "Jesus," and/or serve cider and cookies during a Christmas carol sing-along.
The book includes planning, actor parts, set up ideas, and patterns to create background silhouette scenes. If you use this function as a fundraiser, you could collect donations at the exit.
Available exclusively on our Etsy
platform-Learn more!
